Override Mech City Brawl

I’ve played many top tier fighting games in my life from the original killer instinct to mortal kombat bloody roar, and soul caliber but override mech city brawl is a game that hit me out of left field. I hadn’t heard about the game until my buddy Savior told me about it and how he had an extra code. I told him send it my way, we can try it out together and that we did. Now during our testing of override the only modes available were online multiplayer and local co op so we spent the good portion of an hour trying out the 12 different fighters and just having fun.

What I did like was how each character was different than each other in movement and combat. You had big guys like Setesh and Rocco who hit hard but moved slow and then a ninja named Mya who was extremely fast. The match I used her I spent more time running around getting a feel for her then actually fighting. Now you wouldn’t think there would be any more separation between fighters but then there’s Pescado a luchador inspired mech who’s fighting style is on the advance side. I personally didn’t get to use him but Savior used him and his quote “there is a learning curve to him since he relies on drop kicking and using quick recovery” and I find that’s a good thing. The creators made sure each mech had not only their own movement and fighting style but they added a learning curve to some of them.

Now my favorite part of this game are the maps because they make me feel like I’m in an old Godzilla movie fighting against other monsters and watching the buildings crumble around really made it amusing and half the time I spent being the monster running through buildings for fun… and to get away of course. Another difference that sets this game apart from other fighters except for soul caliber is that periodically around the map drop pods show up with weapons in them with a great variety from shields to guns and a flame thrower to different melee weapons and my personal favorite the frying pan there is nothing better then hearing the loud cling as you smack your opponent with it.

Now this game truly emphasizes combat skill and calculating every move since you have a heat meter which is your stamina meter and you only gain access to your ultimate when your health reaches 25% or below and I for one think this is great as you no longer will suffer those insane 3 and 4 hundred hit combo’s and instead will have to make sure every move you make counts which I admit stamina meters in a fighting game is new but personally I love it no more combo spamming and even if you block your defense can be broken just letting you know.

The game does offer controller support so far since me and savior played on PC no word yet if there will be a console release but if there is I’ll let you guys know.

Override mech city brawl is a new fighting game that definitely deserves you to take a look into it and I for one will be watching this game for a release date it was fun offering 1v1 or 1v1v1 or 1v1v1v1 matches with a variety of maps taking you from Tokyo to Mexico to Egypt so if you’re a fan of mechs and fighting games then check out override mech city brawl. Have a good day and take care.
